More than you think! Langston Hughes began writing poems in high school and soon 1 1 became one of Americas greatest writers. Most of his writing is about his 2 2 experiences as an African American. He wrote poems about people who worked hard through life but 3 3 still found things to be happy about. He wrote plays and books about justice(正 义) for all people, and he wrote kids books, too. The Sweet and Sour Animal Book is a book of his animal poems. Pictures and photos were used in the book. “Hold fast to dreams” is a line in a famous Hughes poem. Thats 4 4 exactly what he did throughout(贯穿) his life. When Steven Spielberg was in middle school, he wanted 5 5 to_make a film. He had an idea for a movie, but no money. He started a treeplanting business and made his film with the money he earned. Spielberg never stopped making films, even 6 6after many film schools refused him. Today he is one of the most popular and 7 7 important filmmakers in the world. His movies are about people who are adventurous(爱冒险的), brave and kind. His characters often 8 8 fight for what is good. Some of his films are about his Jewish(犹太人的) 9 9 background,_such as Schindlers List. Spielberg once said, “I dont dream that much at night because I dream for a living.” In different ways, both Hughes and Spielberg have 1010 encouraged people of all ages to reach for their dreams. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了诗人作家兰斯顿休斯和电影导演史蒂 4 文斯皮尔伯格的故事。他们的作品从不同方面鼓励所有年龄段的人去追寻自己的梦想。 【答案精析】 1became 此空作谓语，要填动词。从所给的动词 make, fight, experience, encourage 和 become 中选择。由“Langston Hughes began writing poems in high school and soon”可知他最终成为美国最伟大的作家之一。所以可确定选 become，最后由 “began”确定要填其过去式 became。 2experiences 由空格前的“his”确定此空要填名词。从所给的名词 background, experience 中选择。再由下文的“he did throughout(贯穿) his life”可知是指他的作 品都是与他的经历有关。故填 experience 的复数形式 experiences。 3still 此空要填副词修饰后面的动词 found。从所给的两个副词 still 和 exactly 中选择。再由句意“他写的诗是关于那些为生活而辛苦工作的人，但仍然也会发现一些开心 的事情。 ”确定填 still。 4exactly 由上文“Most of his writing is about his . as an African American.”可知此句意为“这正是他在一生中所做的。 ”故填 exactly。 5to make 由 want to do sth.这一固定结构可知此空要填“to动词原形” 。从所 给的动词 make, fight 和 encourage 中选择。由下文“and made his film”可知是指拍电 影。故填 to make。 6after 由“even”可知他在许多电影学校拒绝他后仍然没有停止拍电影。故填 after。 7important 由空格前的“popular”可知此空要填形容词。所给词中只有 important 是形容词。故填 important。 8fight 此空作谓语，要用动词。从所给的动词 fight 和 encourage 中选择。fight for 意为“为而战斗” 。故填 fight。 9background 由空格前的“Jewish”可知此空要填名词。剩下的词中只有 background 是名词。故填 background。 10encouraged 由 encourage sb. to do sth.和“have”确定此空要填 encourage 的过去分词 encouraged。 .阅读理解 A A In a small village, there lived a man.

With great difficulty, he got up, took out a bowl and went out to beg. By begging the whole day, he finally got a pot full of milk. He hung this pot on the ceiling, lay down on his bed and started daydreaming again. “This pot of milk is going to make me rich， ” he thought. “I can make butter from the milk. Then I will be able to make ghee(印度酥油) and go to the market and sell the ghee， ” his dream continued. “With the money I get, I will buy a pair of goats(山羊). They_will have kids after six months. Soon I would have a large number of goats.” “Then I will continue my business. I will buy some more cows and own a farmhouse. I will start a dairy farm (奶牛场). Once I earn a lot of money I will employ people in my farm. I can also open a sweet shop in the middle of the 5 village.

When writers tell the same story in a different way, it is called their “version (版 本)” of the story. 1 1_C_ Lets read two of them and find out how they are different. The version that most people know is the oldest one written in 1697 by Charles Perrault from France. This is the version where the birds help make Cinderellas dress and the mice turn into carriage men(马车夫) and help Cinderella go to the dance in a pumpkin(南瓜) carriage. 2 2_G_They help her meet the Prince. Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily together ever after. 3 3_A_ In this version, the birds help Cinderella in the whole story. Cinderellas father gives her a little tree when he comes back from a party. 4 4_B_ The birds now live in the tree and they give Cinderella a dress of gold and shoes of gold. Cinderella goes to the party to meet and dance with the Prince. Later, he finds Cinderella at home doing work for her stepmother.5 5_E_ Now you can understand what the word “version” means and how more than one writer can tell a story in a different way. That is why there are many versions of the same story. AJacob and Wilhelm Grimm from Germany wrote another version of this story in the 1850s. BShe plants the little tree and her tears water it until it grows into a tall tree. CThe story of Cinderella has many different versions. DJane played the part of Cinderella in the school pantomime. ECinderella marries the Prince and they live happily ever after. FThe postman brought an invitation to Cinderellas house. GIn this version, many of the animals are Cinderellas friends. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了灰姑娘的两个故事版本，同时也说明了为 什么相同的故事却有许多不同版本的原因。 【答案精析】 1C 由空格前的“When writers tell the same story in a different way, it is called their version(版本) of the story.”可知是说到了故事的版本。所以 C 项(灰 姑娘的故事有许多不同的版本)符合语境。 2G 由空格后的“They help her meet the Prince.”可知 G 项(在这个版本中，许 多动物成了灰姑娘的朋友)符合语境。 3A 由空格后的“In this version, the birds help Cinderella in the whole story.”可知这里提到了灰姑娘故事的另一个版本。七个选项中只有 A 项含有此意，故选 A。 4B 由空格前的“Cinderellas father gives her a little tree when he comes back from a party.”可知此空与小树苗有关。所以 B 项符合语境。 5E 由空格前的“Later, he finds Cinderella at home doing work for her stepmother.”可知后来灰姑娘和王子在一起了。故选 E。 7 .补全对话 请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容补上所缺的句子，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整。(每 空一句) A：Hi, Lisa!
